How to respond if the Nazi lovers bring up any violence from BLM "members"


There is no comparison here. Black Lives Matter's guiding principals include the following:

1. Protest through non-violence
2. Celebrating divirsity
3. Loving engagement


They also embrace gays and transgenders.

Any BLM "members" acting out in violence are going completely AGAINST the official values of BLM.

Groups like the KKK, Nazi's and Alt Right DO NOT celebrate diversity, loving engagement and non-violence.

There is NO comparison PERIOD!

Alt-Right Media Framed Wrong Person in Car Attack, Labeled Him Anti-Trump Druggie

We had some trolls here yesterday with low post counts pushing this crap. Hope they have been banned:


Readers flocked to the Facebook page of the Michigan man who was falsely accused of the homicide.

Prominent alt-right media personalities and websites framed a Michigan man that one labeled an “anti-Trump druggie” for Saturday’s car attack on anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville, Va that killed one and injured 19 others.

Police said the suspect in the incident is 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. from Maumee, Ohio. That is not the name of the man identified by the websites Gateway Pundit and GotNews earlier in the day.

“REPORT: Driver in Virginia Car Attack Was Anti-Trump Protester,” Gateway Pundit blared, plus the name of the Michigan man, whose name The Daily Beast is withholding. “WOW! DUDE HIT THE WRONG CROWD,” the sub-headline read.

When was the last time the KKK felt comfortable with their hoods off?


Whatever time that was is a good indicator as to how far backward in Time Trump has taken this country.

Trump Is Sending Ivanka To India For A Summit. An Indian Diplomats Response Is Perfect


BY COLIN TAYLOR
POLITICS | PUBLISHED ON AUGUST 11, 2017
Yesterday, President Trump announced he would be once again dispatching his daughter Ivanka to represent the United States at a major international summit, this time deploying his favorite unelected and unqualified daughter to India for a conference on women’s entrepreneurship.



An Indian diplomat clearly did not approve of Trump’s decision to send his daughter rather than anyone who actually has some kind of conception of the socioeconomic barriers that women struggle with around the world, and made an apt comparison to the Hindustan Times that’s sure to have the First Daughter steaming:

“We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes. It’s in our national interest to flatter them. Yes, it is a shame that the US should be compared to a kingdom. But that is America’s shame, not [Indian Prime Minister Naendra] Modi’s, or India’s.”
The comparison to the spoiled scions of the House of Saud is particularly appropriate, seeing as both Ivanka Trump and the Saudis freely exploit underpaid workers who toil in slave-like conditions.

Ivanka Trump is particularly unsuited for the women’s entrepreneur summit since she was handed everything in life on a silver platter and clearly does not take a strong interest in helping tear down the obstacles facing women in even the American workplace.

As the investigation intensifies, if the GOP fully turns on Trump what will his base do?


These folks are fucking NUTS! They are already skeptical of the GOP establishment. Could it completely fracture the GOP? They are going to have to pay off guys like Alex Jones and Hannity to change their message to keep these fools in check or will that backfire too? if it occurs?
